Rigid Inflatable Boats

Durability, Manoeuvrability, and Performance for Critical Naval Operations

Our Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) are designed with military precision and crafted for operational excellence in extreme maritime environments. Built to the highest standards, these heavy-duty, robust vessels offer maximum durability, increased manoeuvrability, and superior through-life performance. Each RIB features a seawater-resistant aluminium sandwich hull constructed with a frame and stringer design, coupled with an environmentally resilient Hypalon buoyancy tube. The boats are fully modular, allowing for custom configurations to suit mission-specific needs, whether for rescue, transport, or combat operations.

With over 80 years of expertise and experience spanning four continents, our RIBs are combat-proven, engineered to SOLAS Rescue Boat standards, and tested rigorously at every stage of manufacture. They incorporate performance-enhancing patents and are ISO and Module D certified, ensuring exceptional reliability and adaptability in any operational environment.

Performance

When underwater emergencies occur, a trusted, proven partner is essential. Our submarine escape and abandonment systems are engineered for precision, speed, and survivability, delivering reliable performance under extreme pressure and time-critical conditions. From deep escape scenarios to surface evacuation, they enable rapid, controlled responses when it matters most.

Innovation

We are continually advancing our submarine escape and abandonment capabilities to meet the evolving demands of naval operations. Through new material sciences, technological innovation and strategic partnerships, we push the boundaries of survivability — developing solutions that set new standards in performance, integration and reliability beneath the surface.

Protection

Sub-surface emergencies demand absolute confidence in protective systems. Our escape and abandonment solutions are designed to safeguard submariners from depth to recovery, delivering thermal insulation, flotation, and life-support performance under the harshest conditions. Proven through rigorous testing, they provide the protection needed when submariner survival is the priority.
